Jordan High School students lead a protest for Jordan English Teacher, Karen Salazar, who was recently fired for allegedly espousing "extremist views" in her class room. Students for Salazar were accompanied by Jordan H.S. Teacher and Poet, Mark Gonzales, Jose Lara and other members of the Association of Raza Educators (A.R.E.), as well as members of the community and of the independent press. The protest took place Thursday, June 5, 2008, during after-school hours. Amongst many of the heartfelt words Ms. Salazar shared with people regarding her students, she expressed deep appreciation for their bold acts of self-sacrifice. "I feel humble that they were here because a lot of students know that it's risky to walk home after the school crowd has left....Walking home alone, things can happen to them," Salazar said.For more information, contact Students for Salazar C/O The Sixth Sun Productions:sixsun@mac.comTo get directly involved with the campaign to force the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to renew Ms. Salazar's contract, contact Jose Lara at the Association for Raza Educators (A.R.E.) at razaeducators@yahoogroups.comAlso, professional poet and Jordan Teacher, Mark Gonzales, can be reached at humanwrites@gmail.com

As an employee of the LA School Dist., we believe Latinos are terrorists so we meet regularly to discuss how best to keep them uneducated and to violate their rights. We focus on removing Latino culture from the curriculum and create activities that minimize critical thinking skills. Our mission is to brainwash every minority into believing in the superiority of western ideals, so we encourage all schools to deny freedoms and to develop an atmosphere that resembles Attica in every way.

Day after day, children are denied the right to be children. The world treats rich kids as if they were money, teaching them to act the way money acts. The world treats poor kids as if they were garbage, to turn them into garbage. And those in the middle, neither rich nor poor, are chained to televisions and trained to live the life of prisoners.The few children who manage to be children must have a lot of magic and a lot of luck.-Eduardo Galeano, Upside Down

What Ms. Salazar should have done is waited out her 3 years until she was tenured in order for the district to not be able to fire her. Then she tells the distrct to kiss her ass... this lady is better than the "Freedom Writer" teacher. She inspires, encourages, educates and allows her students to express what they already know... the truth. She is my hero! -Santa Ana High Educator!

Organize, organize, organize! Youth voice is the most powerful tool that can be utilized for change. I applaud Mr. Salazar for thinking creatively to provide the students of Jordan High with the tools they need to be caring and contributing adults. Stay steadfast in your struggles.

It really has nothing to do with the principal, the school system is run by racist whites that only want their propaganda spread!Now if she had been telling them to go straight to the service, and die for their country, she'd have no problems. But who does she think she is, teaching them to think! The Nerve! NOT!!!
